More than a cute little girl with majestic polar bears.

I urge you to NOT support The Golden Compass this hol(i)day season.

Holiday is a combination of the words "holy day." The Golden Compass proves unholy indeed. The movie is based on the first of 3 books in a trilogy called "His Darker Materials," by Philip Pullman, a vocal atheist. The ultimate triumph in the third book is the murder of a character named "God."

Anyone ever read the Narnia books by Christian author C.S. Lewis? The author of The Golden Compass detests them. He wrote "His Darker Materials" in response to the Christian ideals of The Chronicles of Narnia.

"I loathe the 'Narnia' books," Pullman has said in previous press interviews. "I hate them with a deep and bitter passion, with their view of childhood as a golden age from which sexuality and adulthood are a falling away." He has called the series "one of the most ugly and poisonous things" he's ever read.
